Firsts

After sewing silk ribbon over the outer raw edges of this cloth and adding a silk dupioni backing, I think it still needs something - more of a pronounced focal point - so I'm trying needle-turn applique for the first time with this orange blossom. A 'first' is in keeping with the theme of new flowers emerging.

Thanks, Jude - thought threads running parallel to the stitches create a version of 'whole cloth'.
